Vegas hotels on sale as low as $28 a night

The bigger (and more expensive) the stateroom, the more on-board credit you’ll get.

Guests who book trips of up to six days or longer will receive $250 in on-board credit when sailing in a Garden Villa; $150 for suites; $100 for mini-suites and deluxe balcony staterooms; $75 for balcony staterooms; $50 for ocean view; $25 for inside and $12.50 for Norwegian Epic’s exclusive Studio staterooms.  

For trips of up to five days, guests will receive $100 per stateroom in a Garden Villa; $75 for suites; $50 for mini-suites; $40 for balcony staterooms; $20 for ocean view and $15 for inside staterooms.  

It’s a standard on-board credit being offered, so if you book an inside cabin you will barely have enough to cover two pina coladas.

To Book ‘Save and Sail’ this Black Friday, call Norwegian at 866-NCL-CRUISE (625-2784), visit www.ncl.com or contact your local travel agent.

Carnival had one person complain that their cabin was not cleaned.

The online support staff replied less than a minute later to ask for the cabin number so they could get someone over right away.

Now that’s good customer service!

Earlier this week they let their followers know that AA Flight 1443 was delayed out of New York because of a mechanical problem.

US Airways ran a Twitter contest this past week asking customers for helpful holiday travel tips.

One good one was from KC Travel who tweeted: Put items on the security belt in the order of how you want them put back together when they come out (shoes, belt, then suitcase).
